first b12 shot

I was pretty nervous so I watched a couple of youtube videos about giving the shots. It looked pretty easy. I took the syringe out of the fridge 15 minutes before I gave it so that it wasn't cold going in. Then when I felt like I was ready and went and got my mom out of her room and asked if she wanted to come and watch. DH was asleep so it was me and mom. I held the syringe like I was shown on the video, like a dart, getting my index finger ready to push the b12 stuff in. A.J. had been asleep for about 45 minutes so I hoped she wouldn't wake up. I read to use the upper outer potion of the buttocks. So I just gave the shot and it was very easy. She didn't even stir.

I marked it on the calendar so I remember when to do the next one. I'm glad that mom watched and saw that it wasn't a big deal so she could do it if she needed to. My Dad came up this evening. He has a job interview tomorrow. If he gets the job he will be able to move here so that he and mom can be together and get a house. I am looking forward to them starting a life here in town, and having their own house.

I hope these shots help A.J. I hope they are the "magic bullet" but I have a feeling they probably aren't. She is such a great "responder" to the other treatments that parents have told me about so I hope hope hope hope that she is to this also. I want her to be happy.
